I've also noted the sound out of sync with the video - but I tracked it back to the software used to convert the HDTV source down to the 320x240 image. some software works better than others - try it before you buy it.

It does play .avi and XviD, but not DivX. And the type of codec the file was created with can effect the video. I'd say that 80% of the avis and mpegs I've loaded work properly. Though I have seen one file not play sound, a couple files loose sync between sound and video and sometimes a file just won't play. These specific problems always happen with the specific file. Wolverine Data's website recommends (and sells I think) a software app for turning your DVDs into files that work flawlessly with the ESP

I've never tried it, but I'm sur you could using the right software. The file output is .avi. Which is a movie file. Maybe if you could open the file in something like movie maker. I'll try it and let you know how it works.

Hi. There are various MP4 file formats. If our unit does not read or recognize the file you would like to play, we recommend converting or downloading file as a AVI, DVIX or M4V.

DIVX is not just a wrapper. It is a specific codec (though there are various versions available). AVI is a wrapper (all your DIVX video will have the .AVI extenion.) If you want to play video on your DVP5992 through the USB port (I have that same player) then you should convert it to DIVX using something like "AutoGK". If you have trouble with multiple angles flashing back and forth (DIVX doesn't handle multiple angles well) then use "VOB Blanker" to remove all but one angle. It takes a bit of time to get good with these programs but I got pretty good at it in just 3 or 4 hours of playing around (go the videohelp.com for tips). DIVX is not just a wrapper.

When burning avi/divx files on a CD or DVD, just make sure that the disc is properly 'closed' and it is fit for use on a DVD player. It works fine then, otherwise u may face problems with a multi-session disk on this or other DVD players.If you are playing a file stored on a USB flash drive or hard disk, it should play anyway.

Yes the player will play MP3, it will play AVI depending on which codec is used. I have used the player to play AVI using the Divx codec.

Yes it does. You might want to use SD/USB instead though, easier n larger space. Plays movie files too, mp4, avi, etc.

I just got around to making a photo D.V.D today, it does play them but make sure you use D.V.D -R media because the first D.V.D I made didn't play not sure what that one was but tried it again using D.V.D -R 16x and it worked well.

Anyways, just because you have to convert your avi files doesn't mean it doesn't play avi files. They're still avi's, just configured differently. Most of the ones you have are probably too high resolution or bitrate or have something else about them the Latte is incompatible with, so you have to reencode them to make them meet its requirements. They're still avi files, though.

At the same time, if you use your computer you can make a DIVX movie from your DVD then play that in this player. The region encoding affects the playing of the original DVD, but might not interfere when copying it with aftermarket software into DIVX. (or into region free DVD, for that matter)
